Well, this certainly has raised a hullaballoo on the board! So which of these is the best recipe?

I like the pickle spears fried instead of the pickle chips (not to be confused with the bag of Lays Dill Pickle potato chips I just assaulted).

My husband set up a restaurant (he's a consultant) in Raleigh and he put fried pickles, fried corn on the cob, and fried twinkies on the menu. It is a wing joint.

I don't know what is fried twinkies

But I know there are fried green tomatoes.

Yummmmmmmmm, fried twinkies and fried snickers!

Don't make ME snicker

Fried Twinkies:

GoTravel...I think the next MB gtg should include a few of your DH's treats. Especially the fried twinkies...YUM-O!

Can we add some fried chicken? Man, I haven't had fried anything in such a long time! Anyone else hungry?

Oh STW nothing says loving like something from the deep fat fryer. That dumb doughboy was wrong, wrong, wrong about the oven.

Come to the Midwest. We fry lots of things here!

I'm thinking MB in late September. Pickles, twinkies, and oysters. YumYum!!!

Frying pretty much anything makes it better. Fried artichoke hearts are delicious too!

That's why living in the South is the best!

Budman.......head it on over to NMB to the Freeze Beach Shack....it's small, but some mighty fine company will be there to welcome you!

GoTravel and DH can pick up and "wash" the oysters and fry them there twinkies and fix up some pickles.

We will get the cold beer and all other good stuff!

Heck, I might even talk the real icee into cooking some BBQ!



....

We'll do the oysters! After all, no one can make cocktail sauce as good as mine!

I'll have one of his chefs do the twinkies because I don't trust myself with hot grease!

I can make cocktail sauce as good as yours!!! You gave me your recipe!!!!!

Oops.........I bet beachdweller will want to have this at his place. That will be fine.

Carry on........

Does this post remind you of something?

I'll bring whine.

Fried everything? Yep, guilty pleasure.

I like deep frying sweet potato fries too.

Okay, Mrs. Beach_Dweller and I are in for another MB area GTG, especially if GoTravel is roasting oysters!

Now as far as hosting . . . sure, as long as it's a Saturday.

Melissa, let's invent a new Fodorite's dish: fried pee-Kal or pi-Kal?

Go: What's in your cocktail sauce?
And...what's the best way to fry fish...like sole. Dip in flour first or egg first? Then crumbs? I need this for this evening if anybody can help!

wow, dip the fish in white flour, then egg wash (beaten egg with a tiny bit of milk), then in whatever batter you like. We like to beer batter ours.

The cocktail sauce recipe is easy, equal parts Heinz Ketchup and horseradish with a whole lemon squeezed (squoze?) into the mix.

Fried twinkies, fried corn on the cob, fried pickles, and fried sweet potatoes.

Someone invite the cardiologist to the GTG.

Go, Thanks! You mean flour, then egg, then beer batter? How do I do the "beer batter"?
